When a manufacturer requires a package with shapes, seals, or dimensions outside the scope of standard packaging solutions, custom packaging equipment can help meet these specialized demands. “Off-the-shelf” automation equipment can offer convenience, but it often places constraints on design and production capabilities.

Many people believe that using standard automation equipment will be more cost-effective than developing a custom automation solution, but this is not always the case — especially when considering the overall production efficiency provided by custom solutions.

Plastic Ingenuity offers custom packaging automation integration solutions to help customers build and customize their current automation equipment, thereby ensuring that their distinct packaging is efficient and reliable. From the early design phases to final testing, our engineering team has the experience to support custom packaging equipment for any type of product.

Applicable Industries

Given the high-volume production orders and sheer amount of unique product designs, the food, medical device, and pharmaceutical packaging industries often require custom packaging and automation equipment. Engineered packaging systems offer convenient solutions for a number of industries and are often used to manufacture containers such as retail blister packs for cosmetics and electronics, as well as plastic trays for medical devices.
